Looking For Emergency Cure

Diagnosed coeliac 25 years ago and haven't touched gluten since then. Was given porridge oats by accident and I ate it - that was 21 days ago. I have diarrhoea every day and sometimes I am up at night with it. The pain is all over by stomach. Doctors don't know what to do with me. Every time I eat something I get diarrohea and pain. I can only take a vitamin drink and water. I recall reading somewhere that there was a tablet or something you could take to counteract the symptoms of the allergy in the event of an emergency. Has anyone heard of this ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Katie.

The only thing really to do is let the reaction run it's course. My reactions last 2 weeks, some people have them longer and some shorter.

I hate to bring bad news but there is nothing to make the reaction stop. There are medications that may ease symptoms.

If you can get something on your stomach stick with foods that settle good...like rice, baked potatoes, jello

Teas are very soothing as well so you may want to try a peppermint or ginger tea if your stomach can handle it.

As celiac is not an allergy, but an IgG immune response, there is nothing you can do but wait it out.

Relieve the pain with a medicine ball. Lie down on the floor when you do this and put the medicine ball on your left side after a meal or right side hours later. Place it above the hip and beneath the rib cage and then turn and squeeze the ball like a grape with your gut and rock it a little. You should feel it breaking up a touch..

Also, lying right on your back with pressure placed just below the tail bone with the point of a small pillow can help at times..Get in the habit of stretching properly.

Professional baseball players have a good routine and they use medicine balls a lot..

You might also consider rolling a tennis ball in all directions on your gut, above and below the belly button..

Hope this helps..

I use a heating pad...but that only works with pain. Intestinally, there's nothing you can do.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
